Mackerel With Warm Cauliflower Caper Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• For the cauliflower salad: Remove the core and leaves from the cauliflower, then use your hands and a knife to break apart and coarsely chop the florets into about 2- to 3-inch pieces. Spread on a baking sheet and drizzle generously with the oil. Season with salt. Toss to coat, then roast until the cauliflower is tender and slightly crisp around the edges, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, make the caper vinaigrette: Combine the garlic, lemon zest and juice, oil, vinegar, parsley, capers, honey, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a blender or food processor and puree until smooth.
• Transfer the cauliflower to a large bowl. Add the dates, almonds, cranberries and capers. Pour in about 1/3 cup of the dressing and toss to coat evenly. Taste and add additional dressing as desired (you won't need all of it). Sprinkle with the crushed red pepper flakes if desired and serve warm.

Steps:

• Place the cauliflower in a steaming basket over one inch of boiling water; cover and steam one minute. Lift the lid for 15 seconds, then cover again and steam for six to eight minutes until tender. Refresh with cold water, then drain on paper towels.
• In a large bowl, mix together the garlic, parsley, capers, vinegar and olive oil. Season generously with salt and pepper. Add the cauliflower and toss together. Marinate, stirring from time to time, for 30 minutes if possible before serving. Serve warm, cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Mince and mash garlic to a paste with kosher salt using a large heavy knife, then add anchovy and capers and finely chop. Transfer mixture to a large bowl and whisk in lemon juice and pepper, then add oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined well.
• Cook cauliflower in a 4-quart saucepan of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander, then toss hot cauliflower with dressing. Cool to warm, tossing occasionally, then add parsley and toss to coat. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the cauliflower with the olive oil, season and roast for 15 mins. Stir in the red onion and carry on roasting for 15-20 mins more until tender.
• While the cauliflower is roasting, mix the vinegar, honey and raisins with some seasoning.
• When the cauliflower is done, stir in the dressing, dill, almonds and spinach, and serve.
